Though I don't think it was exactly 'legal' for these people to have set up camp within a few feet of the lake.... This was taken just as the sun rose and cast the first morning light on the mist over Sparks Lake. Shot at 200mm, processing mainly included selective contrast and curves adjustments.

What an inviting place to wake up. The backlit trees and mist sets this ablaze. The tent and fog components balance well.

My eyes keep going to the dead tree in the center. I might be tempted to Photochop that one.

Stunning light!
As least for me, the tent feels just a bit snug there in the corner.

The golden light catching the fog is just magical. Beautiful setting.

Lovely - the fog and bit of bright orange tent anchor the image.
Hard to tell without a drop line, but seems to need a touch of CW rotation so the tent bottom is level -
Congrats on the EP!
